Pretzels are a type of bread product. They are traditionally baked in a very distinctive "knot" shape. The pretzel is believed to have originated in European monasteries, and have for a long time been associated with Christianity.
The settlers who later became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch introduced the pretzel to the Americas. From Pennsylvania, the pretzel then spread out to other parts of the region. As new production methods for baking were introduced, soft pretzels became popular.
Today, there are many different types of pretzel. These are available in both hard and soft forms, and can come with a whole range of different glazes and seasonings as well as seeds and nuts. The pretzel can come in both sweet and savoury varieties, and can come from small, snack sized types up to much larger ones that are used to make such as sandwiches.
